Some of the neighborhood kids decided to venture up to a friend's cabin last weekend. We packed prepared to withstand the freezing temps just in case the wood stove didn't do the trick and enough food to last a month!

Josh took off with the pup & some of the gear while the rest of us hiked.

The cabin warmed up real nice and the pup got real snuggly...

(Jesse here. I absolutely LOVE my Timex Tide watch. Rugged and all the info I need at a glance while outdoors. Find it here.)

We had such a good time just being disconnected from the world for a little while and laughing til the wee hours of the morning with good friends! Hard to beat those memories!
